lpv:translated text	"Mr President, first of all, I should like to express my appreciation for Mr Schmidt's work. Having to submit an amended report twice in order to gain sufficient support struck me as being no mean feat. I hope that the amendments by Mr Schmidt and Mrs Lulling will be supported in the plenary tomorrow. In the European Union, the postal market will be liberalised by no later than the beginning of 2009. You may, or may not, like that, but, now that the decision is before us, it is important to ensure that this does not result in chaos, with the public no longer being able to receive or send mail. The equal treatment of public and private providers of postal services in terms of VAT basis and the VAT rate is therefore of major importance. In addition, with a view to the free postal market, provision must be made for equal opportunities within the internal market. That is why I shall be supporting the amendments tabled by Mr Schmidt and Mrs Lulling."@en1
